Sunday January 8, 2023 - US Kids Tournament

So this was the first US Kids tournament of the year and only the second one Trevor has ever played in. After five straight tournament wins on the X3 Tour, this was a huge dose of reality as the boy struggled to a round of 96. No lost balls, just one penalty stroke, but horrible putting, less than average chipping, and lousy approach shots.

MAJOR mistake: No lunch, no snacks in the bag = completely out of gas on the back nine.

Something good to take out of this was on the 471 yard par 4, yes par 4, he had a 274 yard drive (longest ever) and a 200 yard 5 wood to get on the green in regulation.

It's all good. This round will be the absolute floor for the rest of his golf life. He knows what he needs to work on and he'll build off of this.

The boy and I had an absolute blast with Cliff and his buddy Normy. Normy looks very much like Jim Furyk. I LOVED this course - lots of elevation changes in a gorgeous setting. The kid shot an 81 and notched his 10th birdie of the year when he drove the green on the short par four 9th hole and two putted from the first cut. His reward was a ride in Uncle Cliff's Ferrari back to his place where we hung out for a couple of hours before our flight home.

The kid won his 3rd school tournament at Shalimar by 6 strokes. He was +5 on nine holes and was pretty consistent.

Well the boy played a decent round but had one big miss - the fifth hole. It made no sense. Total duff on the 130 yard par 3. Hozel shot that went 80 yards left. He hasn't done that in a long time. Second shot went of the back of the green. Third shot was a lob wedge that he chunked. Two putts from there for a nast double. He was +1 on the other eight holes though, good enough for second place.
